Max Headroom Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 A nice metallic blue Triumph TR6 hiding in the backroads of Wirral this morning. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 If anyone is around Wirral tomorrow there’s a classic car show going on. This is a list of those expected to attend http://www.wirralclassiccarclub.co.uk/downloads/Gordale Classic Car Show Entrants 2019.pdf and when I was in Gordale Garden Centre this morning (see the grump thread for the Christmas trees) I spotted a few of the advance guard Although I didn’t have time for a photo there was a rather nice blue BSA motorcycle nearby too.

Max Headroom Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Never seen one before and had to look up the registration which is how I found the list of tomorrow’s exhibits. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Some sort of black 50’s Jaguar coupe turning into the gathering at Gordale I mentioned yesterday. Doesn’t match any on that list I posted. Also five minutes later, a nice G reg Sierra Sapphire in a metallic pale blue. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yesterday evening; going through Dungannon, Co. Tyrone ~ a customised motortrike with its own mini Aero Caravan on the rear. It was going in the opposite direction in fast flowing traffic so I only got a short look at it, but it was very, very nicey indeedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I had to look this one up as I got home just now, but what I saw was a Porsche 356 SC in light blue metallic.... wow that was a beauty. And this morning, an old model Mini, in mint condition, with a little trailer behind it, made from the bottom part of the rear half of another Mini. In the same colour, same striping and everything. Looked rather cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR2Don Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Saturday at Paper Mill Lock - TR4 in dark blue, looked very tidy. Same day on A12 north of Chelmsford, TVR Typhon in grey (had the appearance of being highly polished grey primer (sorry!!)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Today, somewhere North of Harrow and about to join the M1, a 1971 Mustang in something close to Taxi yellow. It sounded nice as he passed going South but the smell of burnt oil lingered a bit as I was waiting at traffic lights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched and/or marshalled on about 15 'Rally GB's' when it was still the RAC rally, as well as many club road and stage rallies - competed on quite a few of the latter too, back in my yoof! For some reason though I started losing interest after the introduction of world rally cars and have only been out to watch one tarmac rally on the Epynt ranges in the last 10 years - & that was only because my son dragged me out to go with him! My only real interest in rallying these days is in historics (must be because I'm a grumpy old git!) and Irish tarmac events. Keith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 A silver Triumph Acclaim on a Y plate. See it on a regular basis parked up at Leeds Uni. In rather good nick too! Regards, Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Ditto - Started marshalling in 1986 and was out every other weekend it seems, but as time has marched on, I have done less and less until now it's out to do a couple of controls on Classic Car runs per year Don't miss the RAC/Network Q/WRGB now - Was much more fun charging round with your mates between marshalling points when the rally covered half the country and not just a little bit of Wales. Have even held back on competing these days, normally navigate 3-4 times a year in a Mk2 as opposed to doing the full local championships - At Donington this weekend for the 60th Dukeries Rally so not able to be a bad influence on my mate Ed at the Southwell show the same day. Oh! Almost forgot - Rover 820 Hatchback in my village this morning. IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ I assume you're in car 66 with Graham Phillpott . What engine's in the car ? The entry list gives a capacity of 1988 , which isn't something ringing any bells .

It's a 2 Litre Zetec that started life in a Focus ST170 - Now drysumped and fitted with carbs and programmable ignition, 5 speed box and Baby Atlas axle. Incidentally, Graham won the 1600cc class 25 years ago on the Dukeries, in the same car, fitted with an all steel X-Flow engine. IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably unarched if it's running a Baby Atlas . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
